Orangeville Poppy Project
This special project was created in consultation with the Orangeville Legion – Royal Canadian Legion Branch 233.
Cadets joined a group of incredible volunteers to help attach just over 3,000 handmade crochet and knit poppies to panels! These panels have been attached to the clock tower during the period of Remembrance.
Here’s a few facts about the project:
• It was spearheaded by community champion, Laura Austin, after she heard about similar projects in other communities.
• Many different community groups and individuals have been involved in the project, crocheting and knitting the poppies you see in the photos below.
• In order to put this project together, the library had to receive authorization for the use of the poppy – this is because the poppy image is actually trademarked!
• The project received congratulations from the Minister of Veterans Affairs.
• The poppies can ONLY be displayed during the Remembrance Period
• A lot of hard work, passion, and community spirit has gone into this project and is a unique way for Orangeville to pay respect to our veterans and those whose lives have been lost.
We’re looking forward to getting the panels installed on the clock tower downtown ahead of Remembrance Day.

Dedication Ceremony for Greenwood Monument
Orangeville’s Royal Canadian Legion Branch 233 conducted a dedication ceremony for the new veterans’ monument placed at the Greenwood Cemetery on September 25.
The ceremony incorporated the renowned Act of Remembrance service dictated by legion tradition. Attendees included MP Kyle Seebach, MPP Sylvia Jones, Mayor Sandy Brown and members of Orangeville Council, Royal Canadian Legion Zone Commanders, Sponsors and Donors, and a Legion Colour Party.
The project began in 2017, but with the onset of Covid-19 and resultant shortfall in fundraising, it was shelved in 2019. Efforts were renewed in 2020 through inquiries and informational meetings with Mayor Brown.

Thank you to Sgt MacNeil-Federico, MCpl Donnelly, Cpl Sword, Cpl MacNeil, LCpl Simoes for their assistance at the dedication.
